Closure for one I loved more than anything. It has taken fourteen years for this poem to come to composition.
This was a school requirement for English in 1994, and then I offered it to my mom during Mothers' Day 1995.
This poem was created because it was the Year of the Family (1994) and a poem-writing contest was one of the activities of the Social Science Club.
Dedicated To: Louis P. Orth. You've been a terrific Father to all of us. Thank you for everything you've done.
